' T o all 'whom fitting concern:-

Be it known that I, DANIEL A..` MAGAS- niLn, `a citizen ot the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the countyot Kings and State of New York` have invented a new and .Improved Tindong of which the fol` lowing is a description.

My invention relates to a window in which sliding sashes are arranged to have swinging movement inwardly for the convenient washing of the window or for ven-v tilation. v s.

The general object of my invention is to provide a window of the indicated type improved in various particulars with a view to provide a novel construction and arrangement of the sashes and their guide means as well as frame assemblage, whereby to permit of the convenient assembling ot' the various elementsl entering into the window and the convenient removal of the sashes. frame parts, balancing means, etc.,as may be re# quired for repair or otherwise.

y Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specifi- .s cation, it being understood that the drawings are merely illustrative ot one example of the invention.-

element and its relation to the relatively fixed frame, the section the line 8--8, Figure 1.

.ln constructing a window in accordance with my invention I provide a .frame designated generally by the numeral 10 and best shown in Figures 5 an( 5, adapted to be permanently -set in the building. Said Jframe includes vertical side strips l1 at the `back and front, as well asa head structure and sill structure, the head structure being of box-like form, and (see Figure 8) including horizontal vertically spaced head boards'12, a front or facing stri 14 and a wider back strip 14a. Similar y, the sill `structure includes horizontal boards 13 and front and back strips '15.

In connection with the fixed frame 10 I employ removable jambs comprising a novel arrangement of guides and retaining means for the sashes. The removable jambs furthermore. carry thereon sash-balancing means and a supporting structure therefor, the arrangement being such that the sashes may be readily removed when desired and similarly the. jamb elen'ients may be conveniently and quickly removed and with them the sash guiding members and the sasli-balancing means. The jambs include outer jamb strips or vertical boards 1G, 16 at opposite sides of the window and inner jamb strips 17, 18 at the respective sides, said jamb strips being secured by suitable removable fasteners such as screws indicated at 19.

Also, I employ a. removable head 20, best shown in Figures 2 and 3 which advantageously is Z-shaped in vertical section, the front' portion` being at a higher plane than the rear portion so that the lower sash when fully raised may extend above the top bar ot the upper sash. Said head 20 is removably held by any suitable means, such as screws 21 (Figures 2 and 3), there being blocks 22 above the outer portion of sai headbetween the same and the lowermost head board 12 of the {Aixed frame 10.

The numeral 23 "indicates the lower sliding sash and 24, the upper sliding sash. e lower sash 23 includes at one side a hinged .side bar section 23*1 hingedly secured to the main side bar of the` sash by any suitable hinge means 25, and similarly the upper sash 24 includes a side bar section 24 sebeing indicated by sash b hinge Janibs of tl 24 ma to say tion 23". inside an( similar,

With the bracket 6 removed and the strip 39 depressed both sashes are free to swing inwardly Von their hinges 25, 26. The several retaining and guiding elements of the lower sash are carried by the janib coinposed ot' removable strips 16,17, as well as the saslvbalancing means and the trame for the latter so that with the. removal of the bracket 6G and the disegagenient et' the guide. strip,.l9, troni sash 24, and the sashes swung ontheir hinges. the jamb'composed ot the strips 16, 17 may be removed and ywith it the several sash guiding and retaining members appurtenant to the lower sash, as well as the sash-balancing means and the frame of the latter. Similarly, theiemoval of the opposite removable janib composed of the @rips 16, 18 serves to same time the upper sash and with it the sash-guiding and retaining means as well as the balancing means for said uppersasli and the framework for 'said balancing means.

r[he construction at the same time permits ot either sash being readily removed by removing one or more of the parts 34. 34, 46, 47' 'ind 6G.

ai desired, a weather strip 7() may be applied to the sill (see Figure 2) in iront of the lower sash.

l would state in conclusion that while the illustrated example constitutes a practical embodiment of my'invention, l do not limit myself strictly to the mechanical details herein illustrated since manifestly the same can be considerably varied without departure trom the spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
